After Cao Cao settled Liu Ze, he was slightly drunk and was about to go back to the back hall to rest, when Xun Yu and Guo Jia were there.

Xun Yu said: "Yu looks at Liu Ze today, Yu is angry, Yu Xuanang talks well, has splendid ambitions, and is by no means a person who is willing to submit to others, the lord might as well take this opportunity to try it, otherwise it will be a big trouble for his henchmen in the future." ”

"Wen Ruo is built to get rid of Liu Ze?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun Yu said: "Liu Ze is the hero of the world, and he will fight for the world with the lord in the future, and he will also be this person, if the lord misses this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I am afraid that he will regret it for life." ”

"Lone naturally knows the stakes here, but it is easy to kill Liu Ze alone, if Xuzhou is angry and pours the state's troops to attack, what should it do? Fang now Yuan Shaoxiong lives in Hebei, the soldiers are in Liyang, and he wants to swallow the land of Henan, if we are attacked by the enemy, how to deal with it? ”

Xun Yu smiled and said: "Yu didn't say that he wanted to kill Liu Ze, Liu Ze is the lord of Xuzhou, the lord only needs to take him hostage and put him under house arrest in Xudu, which is enough to make his subordinates obediently obedient. Liu Ze is like a fierce tiger, he finally threw himself into the net, once he is gone today, he will definitely suffer endless harm in the future. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little excited, to be honest, Xun Yu's construction was very tempting, Cao Cao himself did not think about it, Liu Ze must not be killed, once Liu Ze died in Xudu, the Xuzhou army will inevitably pour out of the nest regardless of the consequences and send troops to retaliate, but taking Liu Ze as a hostage is completely different, the Xuzhou army will not dare to act rashly. Cao Cao could even use Liu Ze's life as a threat to force the Xuzhou army to serve himself as cannon fodder.

Cao Cao smiled and said to Guo Jia: "If Wen has this construction, how does Feng Xiao think about it?" ”

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "My subordinates think it's inappropriate." Liu Ze extinguished Yuan Shu this time, and returned to the capital, serving the country's righteousness, since the lord of the righteous army, for the people to eliminate violence, but to rely on faith and righteousness to recruit Junjie, lest he not come. This time, if Liu Ze is taken hostage. He will be ashamed of the people of the world and laugh at the treachery of the lord. The wise and brave people in the world will be stuck in their minds when they hear it. The lord except for the troubles of one person, and the hope of the four seas. It can be said that the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Cao Cao hesitated. Half-groaned.

Guo Jia said again: "Liu Ze is a hero in the world. Courage and resourcefulness, far beyond ordinary people, this matter can be imagined by the lord. Liu Ze couldn't think of it. Detaining Liu Ze as a hostage can certainly eliminate the trouble in Xuzhou, but this plan is a fire in the fire, and once it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. Now that Yuan Shao is in the north, he is eyeing the battle, and the battle of Yuan Cao is like an arrow in the string, and he has to send it, Liu Ze took a fancy to this point, so he dared to come to Xudu alone. Since he dares to come, he must have no fear, and he must have thought of a perfect plan, if the lord openly attacks and takes Liu Ze as a hostage, the two sides will inevitably turn their faces, if the Xuzhou soldiers are not coerced and attack on a large scale, can the lord really kill Liu Ze? If Liu Ze is killed, Xuzhou will be furious, and our army will not be able to withstand the attack from the north and south, if the lord does not dare to kill Liu Ze, it is meaningless to detain Liu Ze, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to ride a tiger in the end. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he sighed and said: "What Feng Xiao said is exactly what Lone is worried about, it is easy to capture the tiger and it is difficult to release the tiger, it seems that to deal with Liu Ze, you have to think about it in the long run." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Since Liu Ze dares to come to Xudu this time, it is to show favor to the lord, the enemy is current, why not make good use of the lord, make good friends with Liu Ze, stabilize the situation in the southeast, and after breaking Yuan Shu in the future, it will be too late to fight with Liu Ze." ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "Fang Jin Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zhan, crossed Hebei Qingyou and four states, brought a million armored soldiers, and had many generals. ”

Guo Jia said: "In the past, Qin lost its deer, and the county and the male of the world chased it, and everyone in the world thought that Xiang Yu's soldiers were strong and strong to win the world, but Gaozu was able to defeat the strong with the weak, and defeated Xiang Yu in the battle of the Xia, and covered with wisdom. Today, Shao has ten defeats, the public has ten victories, although the Shao soldiers are prosperous, there is no fear also: Shao is full of etiquette, the public body is natural, and this way is victorious; Shao to reverse, public to be obedient, this righteousness is also victorious; Since Huan and Ling, the government has lost in leniency, Shao has been lenient, and the public has been violently corrected, and this rule has been victorious; Shao wai wide and taboo, many relatives, public and simple, only talented, this degree is also victorious; Shao more plans and less decisions, the public has to make a plan, and this plan is also successful; Shao special reputation, public and sincere treatment of people, this virtue is also victorious; Shao compassion is near and far, the public is thoughtful, and this benevolence is also victorious; Shao listens to slander and confusion, and the public infiltration is not good, and this Ming wins also; Shao is confused about right and wrong, and the public law is strict, and this article is also good; Shao Hao is a false situation, I don't know what the soldiers want, the public is less than the public, and the soldiers are like gods, and this martial arts is also victorious. The public has these ten victories, and there is no difficulty in defeating. ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "The words of filial piety are ashamed to be ashamed." ”

Xun Yu also said: "The lord is too modest, Feng Xiao's words of ten victories and ten defeats are also consistent with foolish opinions, the boss is incompetent, tired of the three armies, even if Yuan Shao has many soldiers, how to be afraid!" ”

Guo Jiadao: "The top priority at the moment is how to avoid a two-front war, a war between the south and the north, which is the right way. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "What Feng Xiao said is very true, but Liu Ze is a hero, and he may not see Lone's predicament at this time, if he returns to Xuzhou, he takes advantage of the war between Lone and Yuan Shao to attack Xudu, and Lone has no care about each other, how will he deal with it?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't worry, since Liu Ze comes to Xu Du, he must have the intention of marrying with the lord, as long as the lord agrees to benefit, he will be able to settle down." ”

"Profit? He is now the pastor of Xuzhou, and he is in power, how can ordinary high-ranking officials be impressed? Cao Cao shook his head gently.

"Liu Ze has Huainan Shouchun, and Shouchun is the seat of Yangzhou governance, so the lord may wish to make Yangzhou pastor as well." Guo Jia said leisurely.

Although Yuan Shao now controls Ji Qingyou and the four states, and he claims to be the state pastor of the four states, he has not been formally appointed by the court, Guo Jia's mention of yì undoubtedly gave the princes and provided legal support.

Xun Yu expressed his concern: "In this way, Liu Ze has self-respecting troops, and I am afraid it will be more difficult to control." ”

Guo Jia's smile had a hint of weirdness in his smile, and he said: "Even if Liu Ze is not given the position of Yangzhou pastor, will Liu Ze of the two counties of Huainan give it up?" Yangzhou Mu is just a false name, what a way. ”

Cao Cao sniffed a different flavor from Guo Jia's words, and said slowly: "The meaning of filial piety, Gu also understands, Sun Ce has asked for the position of Yangzhou pastor several times and ignored it, this time he gave the position of Yangzhou pastor to Liu Ze, Sun Ce will be jealous of it, it is a plan for the two tigers to compete for food, and with the constraints of Jiangdong Sun Ce, Liu Ze may not be flawless to take care of the sneak attack on Xu Du." Feng Xiao's plan is wonderful! ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "The former Liu Ze and Sun Ce once competed in Huainan, Liu Ze won the land of Shouchun Hefei, and Sun Ce took the land of Liyang in Anhui City, and the two sides were already swords and crossbows in Huainan. If Liu Ze leads Yangzhou herd, then the four counties of Jiangdong are all under his rule, how can Sun Ce be willing to be governed by others, and lead two tigers to fight for a vacant position, so that the lord can collect the benefits of the fishermen, why not? ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Okay, according to the plan of filial piety, when the court meeting tomorrow, Lone will be the one who will play and ask Liu Ze to be the pastor of Yangzhou." ”

"Xuan Xuzhou Mu Liu Ze is here!"

A high-pitched voice sang over the palace of Xudu, and the aftermath lingered.

This palace of Xu Du was built by Cao Cao to meet the holy driver, limited to financial constraints, the scale of the palace is much simpler than Luoyang, the inner city is where the palace is, there is a big hall, for the Son of Heaven to meet in this court, there are several palace rooms in the harem, it is the daily living place of Emperor Han Xian.

Although Liu Ze is the pastor of Xuzhou, the official of the two thousand stones, second to the third duke, the same as Jiuqing, but the foreign ministers cannot enter the court without the edict, this is the practice of the Han Dynasty, so after the civil and military officials have gone to the court, Liu Ze is still waiting outside the noon gate.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sat down on the dragon bed, and his own officials played to him: "Xuzhou Mu Liu Ze is still in the capital, and he is already waiting outside the noon gate." Emperor Han Xian shrugged slightly, and immediately ordered the Yellow Gate Squire to pass it on, and at the end, he thought about it, and then instructed the Yellow Turban Squire to pass the order and let Liu Ze go to the palace with a sword.

Liu Ze had already walked outside the main hall at this time, and Zhao Yun and Chen Deng, who accompanied Liu Ze, could only stop here at this time. During the Emperor Ling Dynasty, Liu Ze also met the Son of Heaven, so he naturally understood these rules.

Just when Liu Ze just took off the shoe on his left foot, the Huangmen squire ran all the way over and said: "By the holy decree, Xuzhou Mu Liu Ze will not go to the palace with a sword, Liu Yuanjun, please!" ”

Liu Ze was slightly stunned, the treatment of this sword on the palace is a first-class honor, the Han Dynasty can enjoy this honor for more than 400 years, Liao Liao is very few, when the Han Dynasty opened the country, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, took Xiao He as the most meritorious, and specially gave Xiao He the treatment of the sword to go to the palace and enter the dynasty, which almost became the honor of the hero. In history, Huo Guang, Liang Ji, Hou Jing and others have enjoyed this kind of treatment, Dong Zhuo had visited the emperor when he was in turmoil, and he did not tend to enter the court. And now in the DPRK, Cao Cao is naturally the only one who can enjoy this treatment.

"Minister Liu Ze obeys the order!" Since His Majesty the Emperor personally gave this honor, Liu Ze naturally has no need to disobey the will, not to mention that for Liu Ze, this is just a etiquette, in fact, it does not have much practical significance, Liu Ze is more concerned about what happens after going to the palace. He took the box containing the heirloom jade seal from Zhao Yun's hand, held it in both hands, put the high-end on his chest, wore shoes, and walked up to the hall under the guidance of the Huangmen squire.
